رَوَى ذَلِكَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ صَلَّيْنَا فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ اَلْفَجْرَ وَ اِنْصَرَفَ بَعْضُنَا وَ جَلَسَ بَعْضٌ فِي اَلتَّسْبِيحِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ اَلْمَسْجِدَ فَأَذَّنَ فَمَنَعْنَاهُ وَ دَفَعْنَاهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« أَحْسَنْتَ اِدْفَعْهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَ اِمْنَعْهُ أَشَدَّ اَلْمَنْعِ» فَقُلْتُ فَإِنْ دَخَلُوا فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يُصَلُّوا فِيهِ جَمَاعَةً قَالَ« يَقُومُونَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ اَلْمَسْجِدِ وَ لاَ يَبْدُرْ بِهِمْ إِمَامٌ» فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَنَا جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ لَنَا إِمَاماً مُخَالِفاً وَ هُوَ يُبْغِضُ أَصْحَابَنَا كُلَّهُمْ فَقَالَ« مَا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ وَ اَللَّهِ لَئِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقاً لَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِالْمَسْجِدِ مِنْهُ فَكُنْ أَوَّلَ دَاخِلٍ وَآخِرَ خَارِجٍ وَأَحْسِنْ خُلُقَكَ مَعَ اَلنَّاسِ وَقُلْ خَيْراً» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ تَعَالَى« وَقُولُوا لِلنّٰاسِ حُسْناً» هُوَ لِلنَّاسِ جَمِيعاً فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ« لاَ عَنَى قُولُوا مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ»
This was narrated by Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa from al-Husayn ibn Said from Abu Ali, who said: We were with Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, when a man came to Imam (a.s) and said: “May I be your ransom. We prayed the Fajr prayer in the mosque, and some of us left while others remained seated in tasbih. Then a man entered the mosque and gave the adhan, so we prevented him and pushed him away from doing that.” Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: “You did well. Push him away from that and prevent him with the strongest prevention.” I asked: “If they enter and wish to pray in congregation in it?” Imam (a.s) said: “Then let them stand in a corner of the mosque, and no imam (of prayer) should step forward among them.” I said to Imam (a.s): “May I be your ransom. We have an imam (of prayer) who is opposed (to us), and he hates all of our companions.” Imam (a.s) said: “What concern do you have for what he says? By Allah (swt), if you are truthful, then you have more right to the mosque than he does. So be the first to enter and the last to leave, and display good character with the people and speak well.” Then a man asked: “May I be your ransom, the saying of Allah (swt), the Exalted: ‘And speak kindly to people’ (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:83), is that meant for all people?” Imam Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, laughed and said: “No, what is meant is, ‘Say: (Prophet) Muhammad (saws) is the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family.’”
